Mining has existed since prehistoric times, when humans first started using stones to make simple tools.
In ancient times, mining has become an important industry to meet the needs of society in terms of metals and precious stones.
During the Middle Ages, mining technology developed rapidly and used to extract metals such as gold, silver, copper, and iron from underground mines.
In the 19th century, the industrial revolution accelerated the development of mining technology, with the use of steam engines and mechanical devices such as drill and digging.
In the 20th century, mining technology is increasingly advanced with the use of large trucks, excavators, and other sophisticated machines.
In 1969, humans first landed on the moon and brought back rock samples which were then used as research material for mining technology on other planets.
Since the 1970s, mining technology has also been used to extract oil and gas from underground.
In the 1990s, mining technology began to involve the use of computers and geographical information systems to monitor it and optimize the operation of the mine.
At present, mining technology continues to develop with the use of robots and drones to explore mines that are difficult for humans to reach.
Mining technology is also used to improve the environmental impact of mining activities, such as the use of revegetation techniques to restore the former mining land to its original condition.
